No Helppi for Juha

Juha Helppi pushed for around 35,000 on the button only to be called by Pavel Blatny in the big blind. As Blatny turned over {A-?}{Q-?}, it quickly emerged that Helppi had been caught red-handed with a paltry {J-?}{3-?}.

A three arrived on the flop, but the turn brought a queen, leaving Helppi with five outs that never came.

As Freddy Mercury once sang, although never about poker, "Another one bites the dust."
